Thread: What's OP? What's UP?14 Mar 2018, 21:47 PM I won't comment on balance as to not incur the wrath of our all mighty and knowing Katitof for being a Comp Stomper or whatever, but just a suggestion. Instead of removing the pit and replacing it with a mobile mortar team, how about just go with Planet Smasher's Artillery Pit idea (link in my signature) since that way it will keep the Brits unique at the same time while still giving them mobile indirect fire doctrinally without it costing fuel. Also, perhaps if the raketen was to be replaced with let's say a Pak 38/40, how about the MG34 be buffed a wee bit and it's T1 requirement be removed since I hardly think that a T0 Pak 38/40 would be acceptable, and also maybe increase it's price to compensate. That's all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH 2 and Psychology - An Adventure14 Mar 2018, 20:30 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2018, 20:09 PMFelinewolfie I posted this earlier. It may answer some of your questions : soon every army has T0 4x man machine guns (even Soviets) with AP ammo. soon every army has 5x Model Squad Armies (Even Soviets) with 2x upgrades (2x Bar, 2x Bren, 2x LMG42)(Bren are buffed to MG42 levels, so are BAR. Bar can't fire on move) soon USF has Sherman E8 non-doctrinal for cost of Panther. With Panther stats. soon SoV has T34-85 non-doctrinal for cost of Panther. With Panther stats. This is what I don't get. People want a balanced game, but everyone's idea of balance is that they want to keep their strenghts on their pet faction, but want the opposing faction 's strenghts removed, because " I love scissors, and rocks crush scissors ". All this bitching is never going to end until all factions are entirely mirror stats. The Commanders, too. No, my apologies. Bitching won't stop even then (! Why do USF have Sherman with same stats as Panther? Panther raped Shermans historically) Sigh... ... But don't you want 5x Model Squads with G43s... that cost 280, not 240. And losing bunkers. (USF also losing fighting position)(Unless they both can get the same one, even soviets and british having their MG bunkers). - Panthers that can de-crew and repair/cap flags. - Shermans E8s being non-doctrinal and having 100% Panther stats and costs. All have it or none. You need to decide. Are you okay with accepting that factions are different, and some have strenghts that others don't? Or... do you want everything to be the same? Please decide: A - I want all factions to be nerfed hard, except my pet faction. B - I want all factions to be the same. COMPLETELY the same (Except uniforms, looks) C - I accept asymmetric balance, and that some units will be different than others, and that ultimately, that will lead to a different playing style for each faction. I think everyone should put on their profile, here, and it being tagged onto every post and reply that they make in which camp they belong. I prefer as it is now, but the bitching is insane. So I propose C for custom, and B for Ranked PVP automatch. This way, skill would prevail, and people would finally stop bitching about balance. Add to this an effort to make each unit uselful, in some way. Way too many units are underused, or become useless as time goes on. D - How about the Armies be symmetrically balanced and not 1:1 similar to each other, hmmm, or is that something that YOU personally don't want? Because honestly I can guarantee that the Armies can be balanced symmetrically while keeping them unique, hell I'll even do it if given enough time and resources. In: Lobby

Even Relic have in some part better patch presentation. Honestly after Relic left their skeleton crew to deal with CoH2, and how they dealt with DoW3, whatever these guys make will surely come out better than anything Relic will make in the future, I'm sure of it. It's sad when the company that created the formula want to change it so much that they're ready to literally destroy it while someone else picks it up and does it a bit differently while sticking to it's core, this is a clear sign to me that Relic has just sadly lost it's touch, and this is evident it's not like I'm making anything of it up or that I'm just a random internet troll that likes to point fingers at Relic. Relic were the greatest company to me back when I was a kid and played CoH, I'm not even joking. I even remember telling my father while we were in the car that I don't think there could be anything better than CoH made, and then he suggested that modifying the game and perhaps the formula could maybe make something different if not better, and he was right for the most part if I'm honest, the modders have proved this, all that is left for these guys is to prove the other half of his theory.

Thread: OKW late or early game faction?What made them powerful?11 Mar 2018, 20:45 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2018, 20:27 PMJustin xv Okay so the consensus is that OKW isn't very good past early/mid game. What are the proposed changes? Another redesign which will probably never happen. But this time instead of only listening to the 5% of competitive players and only having competitive modders make the changes the bigger part of the player base should be involved because the last redesign only screwed the pooch even further, I mean replacing the Sturmtiger with the Panzer IV was needed, as was a stock MG, however the MG34 was and still is screwed, difference is that it was a 2 CP 210 Manpower light supression platform back then while now it arguably comes out later, at a bigger cost and is still shite and easily gets overrun. Overrunning a pre-WW1 machine gun design such as the Maxim is one thing, overrunning one of the first and most successful machine guns of World War 2 made in the inter war period and having a fire rate of 900 rounds per minute is another. Not to mention the dilemma with the raketen, some people want it to be tweaked as to make it more usable however I think they're forgetting that it's bugged by default because of where it's projectile spawns at, other people want to have it replaced by a Pak 38/40 which makes more sense, however the first type of people are crying that the Armies would be too similar then. And then there's the problem with the Sturmpioneers and Volksgrenadiers where if you give the Volks back the shreck they become OP again because they're spammable but then the Sturms are too fragile and too overburdened to be a primary repair, builder, assault and Anti-tank infantry unit, not to mention the mine remover and flamethrower upgrades. And again, the first type of people want some simple tweaks because they think they will fix these units, while others want a new type of dedicated anti-tank infantry unit such as the Panzergrenadiers for the Wehrmacht, but then the first type of people say that it's gonna make the OKW too similar to the Wehr. So you have this endless bickering on these forums whether to have balanced Armies or asymmetrical Armies, but you can't have both, and given our present situation it's obvious where Relic stand in all of this. And Katitof before you get into an argument with me again I don't see you suggesting anything else but "Omg this is gonna make this Army too similar to this Army!!!11!". In: Lobby
Thread: OKW late or early game faction?What made them powerful?11 Mar 2018, 18:24 PM I still can't grasp the concept of a German Army that's based on the 1944 Battle of the Bulge Wehrmacht is (badly) designed to be aggressive in the early game, while still having access in the late game to heavier things like the King Tiger and Jagdtiger. It's like they made OKW have some sort of built in panic button or whatever, which then they saw worked a little too well and decided to nerf the early game, and after that nerfed the late game as well because the OKW could be carried in the early game by it's Wehrmacht teammate(s) while carrying the Wehrmacht in the late game with the mentioned heavier vehicles. In all honesty it should be the other way around with the Wehrmacht being based on the early Germany Army Blitzkrieg-ing through Europe and the Soviet Union with trucks, motorbikes, MG34s, Pak 36s and 38s, Panzer IIIs, short barrel StuG IIIs and Panzer IVs and of course Tigers, 88s and that sort of thing, not be based on the Kursk Army with Pak 40s, Pak 43s, shitty wooden bunkers and Elephants, and OKW being the later war counterpart with the concrete buildings (like the Bunker from CoH) having less men and less resources but better equipment, like for example the Wehr Grenadiers would be 5 man squads while the Volks would be 4 man squads but would be able to upgrade with STGs while the Wehr would have Combat Pioneers Armed with, let's say MP40s or MKB42s (using the StG 44 models of course), while the OKW would have the Pioneers with Rifles. And then you'd have things such as the Panzergrenadiers and Panzerjaegers which would fill in the AT infantry role (like atm with the PGs, the Panzerjaegers would be PG clones using the Jaeger skins). But all in all it would be also possible to just design the OKW around the more defensive 1945 Wehrmacht and leaving the current Wehr as they are while adding in a mixed Italian-German Army which would be designed to be more aggressive and mobile. So basically you'd get all flavors on one side, you'd get the Fast and aggressive USF and Italian-German Army, the versatile mix, Soviets and Wehrmacht and slower late game/defensive Armies such as the Brits and OKW.

Thread: Crocodile is useless in team games since patch6 Mar 2018, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Mar 2018, 18:10 PMblvckdream Panther at least has good speed. Crocodile needs to be used in close quarter fights, has bad mobility and needs to be driven back from almost all fights after a few secounds because eating 2-3 rounds of AT-guns or tanks means you have to drive back to base or risk losing your 230 F piece of shit to a diving tank. I understand that Crocodiles used to be very OP in 1v1 and still are good in 1v1 in this patch but they are just garbage in team games. I can´t even remember the last time an opponent used one in 2v2 or up against me. There is probably a reason for it. The KT is probably a good comparison to the Crocodile in a way. Same as the Crocodile it arrives late game when there are numerous vetted AT-guns, TDs, several medium tanks, Ptrs/zooks blobs, etc. that render it useless in 80% of games. Same as Croc investing all those ressources into a KT is a good way to throw the game. This is also a reason why I suggested 2 game balance modes, 1 for 1v1 competitive play and one for the larger more casual play. In: COH2 Balance
